Research Project on Alcohol and Special Populations (25%)

Research and describe the effect of alcohol on your selected special population.

• Identify unique problems or considerations that apply to your group.
• Compare and contrast your group to the overall U.S. population
• Describe best treatment practices for specific issues relevant to the selected population.

References:

• Start with the learning resources in the classroom.
• Locate 7-10 journal articles or book chapters related to your special population.
• Use only scholarly, objective sources for your project. Peer-reviewed articles found in the UMUC Library databases are generally good sources. Web-based information such as Wikipedia and About.com and popular news outlets such as Time or Newsweek are NOT acceptable sources for this project.
• If you are unclear as to whether a source is acceptable, contact the instructor or visit the UMUC Library’s page on locating and evaluating scholarly articles: http://www.umuc.edu/library/database/articles.shtml#evaluatingcitations
